THE GREATEST LIE EVER TOLD: “We’re from the government, and we’re here to help you.”
Ring doorbells, in particular, raise privacy concerns because of their popularity, Amazon’s agreements with police, and Amazon’s growing technological capabilities. In 2020, Ring responded to a letter from five senators and revealed that four employees improperly accessed Ring video data. Politico also reports that “Amazon handed Ring video doorbell footage to police without owners’ permission at least 11 times so far this year.”
You know how to stop this? Convince Planned Parenthood that the Ring videos are used to determine who is getting mail from them about abortion. Granny Winebox and pals would shut that down in a second.
